    Even a single head ALP has amazing sensitivity. But the coverage is not complete against any gun with a tight pattern, and you are defenseless against VPR guns

    You should have done some front runs with the middle head unplugged. You might have still been JTG in front, and you could move that head to the rear.
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    SOB Radargeek, I didn't even think about that. That is a great idea. I will test it with two heads at Novembers Cocoa Florida meet up. Thanks for that simple idea that most of us just over look because it's a truck. Unless I get a good deal for another head in the next couple of weeks, that might be what I'll do.

    Don't disconnect the center head. If using 2 sensors on the front you will need F1 & F2.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    Disconnect center head and move F3 to F2?

    I get it.. F1 and f2 should be used if only 2 sensors in the front. I think that's a good idea, however, I am skeptical if it's worth risking the front to just two sensors when 3 is Jam proof.. Any thought s about that? 95% of Laser hits will be in the front and I know I am risking my rear. BRD I would love to do the same test with two sensors. I am sure you can find one returned or dirty lying around.

    In all the time that we have been selling the ALP we have taken 1 return and it was resold to someone else a few days later. We dont have any open box returns.

    Kudos to BRD/ALP You guys have the best unit out and I hope that with your updates you guys will continue to rule the Laser Jammer market for years to come. I have waited several years before purchasing any Laser Jammers because there have been to many that eventually fail, mis-representated or just doesn't have all the features truly needed to defend from all threats. Finally after years of waiting I invested my money with you guys at ALP. Please stay committed and keep the updates coming.

    PS: If one does get returned because someone just had to many, think of me.

    Going to just 2 Sensors on a large vehicle is not a good idea.
